“You Don’t Belong to the World Anymore”
📖 “If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.”
—John 15:19 (NKJV)
Ever feel like you just don’t fit in?
There’s a reason for that.
Jesus says, “I chose you out of the world.”
That means you’re not meant to fit in—you’re meant to stand out.
You were created for more than the trends, the parties, the pressure to be liked or go with the crowd.
The world loves its own. But when you live for Christ, you live for a different Kingdom.
A higher calling. A deeper purpose.
And sometimes, that will cost you popularity or approval.
But remember this:
👑 You’ve been chosen.
🔥 You’ve been set apart.
💡 You were made to shine.
Challenge:
- Where do you feel the tension between your faith and the culture around you?
- What would it look like to boldly live as someone Jesus chose?
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for choosing me. Help me stop chasing the world’s approval and start walking fully in the identity You’ve given me. Make me bold, real, and faithful. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
